Statue of Lee to be removed from Va capital.
|
[email protected] all things General Lee are done away with, I will have to change my middle name. My family was real imaginative since it's the same middle name as my great grandmother, my grandfather, my mother, and my sister. Shit.
Okay, I haven't read the whole thread, so can somebody tell me why they're mad at Stan? I loved his cameos.

Demolishing these statues is re-writing of history, they must be moved to Museums with the deeds of the racist idol written besides it.
But "erasing" them is not to be forgiven. It's destruction of history and erasing the bad deeds of the west. I won't mind a note about their ethnicity too.
That's what the racist nutbars say. It's not true, but whatevs.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
The statues can stand on private ground, makes it easy to spot the nutbars. Just don't use peoples' tax dollars to make, mount, and maintain them.
Maybe instead of honouring Confederate generals with statues, you could honour them with piñatas.

Damnatio memoriae. We did it with Benedict Arnold and it didn't erase him from history - it just made it very clear what we think about traitors.
One statue of a nameless confederate soldier tripping onto his own sword with a plaque that laments those americans who died for the hubris and greed of their supposed betters should suffice. Place it just outside the grounds of arlington, as a bonus, with the figure reaching and grasping towards that place forever denied. Round up the rest and send them to statue farms and civil rights museums...since that's the "history" that they're actually about.

I was thinking of the "statue farm" in The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1).
